Better Oats, Better Dough: Meet Our Friends at Glebe Farm

At Doughlicious, better cookie dough starts with better ingredients. That’s why the oat flour at the heart of everything we make comes from Glebe Farm, a family run farm in Cambridgeshire that has been growing and milling British oats for over 40 years. They’re passionate about oats. We’re passionate about cookie dough. Safe to say, it’s a pretty delicious partnership.

Why We Love Oat Flour

Unlike refined white flour, oat flour is made from wholegrain oats. That means it keeps the natural fibre, vitamins and minerals that are often lost during processing. It also happens to make our cookie dough taste and feel amazing.

Naturally high in fibre

Oats are rich in beta glucan, a soluble fibre linked to heart health and good digestion. It’s one of the reasons Doughlicious cookie dough has one of the highest fibre contents in the category, with 4g per 100g.

Slow release energy

Oat flour is a complex carbohydrate, which means it breaks down more slowly than refined flour. The result is steady energy rather than a quick spike and crash.

Beautifully simple

Great oat flour is just oats. Nothing else. No fillers, no unnecessary processing. Just wholegrain goodness milled into a smooth flour. Exactly how we like our ingredients.

Why We Partner With Glebe Farm

When it comes to oats, Glebe Farm does things differently. They are the only farm in the UK growing and processing gluten free oats into porridge flakes and oat flour, giving them complete control from field to flour. That level of traceability is rare, and it matters.

Certified gluten free

Cross contamination is a common challenge with oats, but Glebe Farm runs a dedicated gluten free mill every single day. Their oats are tested to under 5ppm and approved by Coeliac UK, which is why every Doughlicious product can proudly carry certified gluten free status.

Proudly British

All of their oats are grown within 70 miles of the farm in Huntingdon, and the entire process happens on site. That keeps quality high and food miles low.

Powered by renewable energy

Glebe Farm uses solar and biomass energy, while our Doughlicious factory runs on 100 percent renewable electricity. Better ingredients, made more responsibly.

The Secret Behind Our Cookie Dough

Glebe Farm oat flour isn’t just another ingredient. It is the foundation of everything we make. It creates that soft, scoopable cookie dough texture, adds natural sweetness that helps keep our sugar levels lower than most competitors, and works perfectly alongside ingredients like flaxseed, coconut oil and dark chocolate.The result is cookie dough that is dairy free, egg free and gluten free, but still completely indulgent.
